belief is that the client comes first and we have proved that
clients react well to our ethos and this has been seen by our
growth. Being managing partner and watching the practice
flourish is a great achievement to me and I am delighted that
the panel has short listed me for such a prestigious award. It
is however a joint effort and I have the full support of Rachel
Lloyd, founding partner”
